Were could i buy some of this rubber/plastic material? Ive heard of kaylan??? What is this? How expensive?

I know a MG guy who made some out of a bin but thats a bit to ghetto for me and i dont want them solid rigid plastic...... Is there anything i could buy and butcher to make some? The immediate thing that comes to mind is the plastic curtains that they used to have on chiller and freezer cabinets in stores but thats clear and to narrow, i need 30 x 50mm sheets thats about 5mm think??? , tbh i would like them black also.


Any ideas?? :thumb:

Demon tweeks and places like that sell it in sheets IIRC. Just cut to size.

Im a tight bugger lately! lol

My idea was, theres probably somewhere that sells that material or something similar at a cheap price (not £30 for the set of 4) and cut it to size and shape and fix on using a strip of metal and closed rivets....

If i can get enough material for a tener ive saved myself £20.

Times are hard :(

But how will you fix them? Brackets will cost.
